Rocket Mozzafiato Type R Coffee Machine with Shot Timer

Precision-built and style-forward, the Rocket Mozzafiato Type R Cronometro Coffee Machine blends commercial-grade espresso technology with a modern home design—crafted in Milan for Australian benchtops.

Rocket Mozzafiato Type R: Commercial Performance in a Refined Home Machine

With design roots in the iconic Rocket Giotto, the Mozzafiato Type R Cronometro features flat side panels for a cleaner, contemporary silhouette—hiding commercial performance beneath. Engineered with a rotary pump, digital shot timer, PID temperature control, and a commercial E61 group head, this Rocket espresso machine delivers unmatched consistency and thermal stability at home. Plus, the choice of plumb-in or reservoir operation gives you flexibility in any kitchen setup.
